PHASE AWAY is a hybrid board game created at the 2015 Global Game Jam. It not only features a board hich is newly geenerated every playthrough, but also a smartphone app, which controls many of the game's aspects.
A closer look at the app. The upper buttons give information about the salvaged loot with the decreasing timer in the middle. The discover-button tells if an adjacent room is filled or devoid of oxygen. The lower buttons are for the aliens, a constant threat for the crew.
"Johnny Kaboom" the Brawler, one of five different classes to choose from. The name was an instant player favourite!

Phase Away
PHASE AWAY was made at the 2015 Global Game Jam. It´s a cooperative, real-time, sci-fi boardgame about looting, exploring and avoiding being devoured by alien monsters. What makes Phase Away really stand out though is its use of a smartphone app which controls many aspects of the game.
I co-created the gameplay and setting and designed the board, the class-sheets and many of the items. This project was tons of fun and I´m very proud of it. It was also very well recieved by students and professors alike.
